Interview with Dan Estrin of HOOBASTANK

Small Axl mention

"I've always listened to stuff like Pink Floyd or Journey or Toto, even if they're not considered "cool". I like what I like," he says, simply.

Playing live is something else he likes and Estrin is relishing playing at the My Coke Fest ? even if he doesn?t know what's waiting for him at the gigs where he'll share the stage with one of the songwriters he most admires, Axl Rose.

"I really don?t know what to expect," he admits of the shows in South Africa.

"I'm not expecting anything really, but we're hoping to play two really good shows to a passionate crowd that's going crazy," he says.

"It?s cool playing to a crowd that's really into it ? we enjoy it more, we play even better."

He's honest to the last.
